These have been up about a month now. They are my only two seedlings to have germinated and of course were both in the same pot. Im wondering if I should separate them now/later. Or if i should just let them grow together in the same pot? I also have a larger B.O.P. so I'm not super worried about these seedlings.

I'd separate them whilst you still can.

Well I was still debating splitting them up, when I came home from my girlfriends for the weekend and discovered that it looked like my B.O.P. seedlings took a significant whack from my dogs tail and the one that it thinner and was leaning had been pushed straight up. When I investigates it seemed as if some roots had been damaged and that I could pull it out fairly easily. So I did, and transplanted it into its own pot with some good soil after applying a bit of rooting hormone. It only had one good root on it so I have my doubts it will survive but its in the humidity dome now so hopefully it will root b4 spring in a few months.

Always worth trying. The humidity and any bottom heat you can provide should help.
Good luck.
